PREMIER Campbell Newman and his ministers will publicly release their ministerial diaries in a move aimed at bolstering accountability after a week mired by ministerial mistakes and renewed accusations of nepotism.

In an undertaking similar to that required of ministers in the United Kingdom, edited versions of the diaries will be uploaded online and updated every three months.

"Yet another example of our commitment to restoring accountability in government," Mr Newman said yesterday.

His ministers will follow suit shortly after, with the diaries to be updated regularly.

The move to publish the diaries has the blessing of the state's Integrity Commissioner David Solomon, who revealed he had made a submission to the Government on the matter.

It comes as Mr Newman attempts to move forward following the resignation of his second minister in seven months.

Bruce Flegg, who was housing minister, resigned on Wednesday in the wake of allegations of "sloppy administration" involving the recording of lobbyist contacts to his office, including undisclosed work-related contacts from his lobbyist son.

It was also revealed this week that Arts Minister Ros Bates employs her son's flatmate as her senior policy adviser.

The adviser, Alistair Mitchell, an experienced political operative described by colleagues as "super-smart", is a long-time friend of Ms Bates' son, Ben Gommers.

Ms Bates this week denied Mr Mitchell had been shown any preferential treatment.

The Courier-Mail contacted Mr Mitchell for comment yesterday but he did not respond.
